General Info

Insect Shield, LLC, was granted U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) registration of its insect-repellent apparel in 2003 " the first-ever EPA-registered insect-repellent clothing " and it has become a significant component in the outdoor industry.The odorless insect protection provided by Insect Shield apparel lasts through 70 launderings: the typical lifetime of a garment. The active ingredient is permethrin, a human-made version of a natural insect repellent found in certain chrysanthemum plants, such as the African Daisy. Permethrin has been successfully used in the United States since 1977, with an excellent safety record. Insect Shield's EPA registration does not restrict use of the apparel. Products can be worn by infants, children of all ages, and women who are pregnant or nursing. Wearing Insect Shield apparel reduces the need for topical repellents."We are thrilled to be working with Sloggers to bring insect repellency to the gardening industry, says Jason Griffin, Insect Shield executive VP. "Sloggers Insect Shield products offer the ideal fusion of function and style. Now gardeners will be able to look great and stay protected from bugs and the sun while enjoying their time in the outdoors."
